How To Spot A Man With Yellow Fever

I’m not referring to the disease carried by mosquitoes in tropical regions – I’m talking about the sexual obsession felt by a non-Asian male towards Asians of the opposite gender. Yellow Fever is more of a social disease.

Carriers of Yellow Fever are obsessed with Asian women to the point where they rarely, if ever, date or enter into a sexual relationship with any other women. They actively seek out Asian women to satisfy their romantic and sexual desires.

You may know them as Asiaphile, Asian Fetish, Rice Kings, Rice Lovers or Rice Chasers. Regardless of what you call them, they all have one thing in common – love for Asian pussy.

You may know one, you might even have the fever – but for some ladies, these gentlemen are a little difficult to weed out. Here are a few sure fire ways on how to spot a man with yellow fever – and how do I know? Hell, I married one.

He is the Token White Guy in a group of Asians

This is one of the most obvious signals of yellow fever – you spot a big group of Asian guys, and he is the token white guy in the mix. Before you think: wow, he is so multicultural – he’s not. Rice Chasers surround themselves with Asian dudes because there is a high possibility that these guys have Asian girlfriends. Also – being the only white guy in the group gives him an additional advantage because he has no competition.

He Initiates Conversations in an Asian Language

When a white dude tries to pick you up with “Konnichiwa!” or “Ne hen piao liang” (you are very beautiful) – you know he’s got the fever. These dudes have invested the time to learn the language in order to impress the Asian ladies, but frankly, it’s a little insulting. Opening with that line assumes that the girl cannot speak English. It’s kind of the equivalent of an Asian girl rolling up to white guy and saying “Top of the morning to you, sir!” Creepy, right?

You also run the risk of humiliating yourself by speaking the wrong language to a girl of a different nationality, unless you of course have a very well trained eye. Even I cannot often tell the difference between a Chinese and Japanese girl. And don’t even get me started if you mistakenly refer to a Taiwanese girl as Chinese! If you really are invested in the fever, do some fucking research.

His Dream is to Live in Asia

Living in Asia for a man with yellow fever is much like letting an alcoholic loose at an open bar. It doesn’t matter if you’re an unemployed, broke, living in your parent’s basement virgin who couldn’t hit it in your home town. Once this man hits Asia, he is immediately transformed into some sort of Adonis with gorgeous Asian women at his beck and call. White guys in Asia are often treated like gods – they don’t wait in lines to get into a club, women throw themselves at their feet and they even get photographed like they’re celebrities.

Men who are considered losers in their home country move to Asia in order to feel ‘re-masculated’ because they can experience the feelings of power and dominance which they lack in their homeland. Asian women cater to these fantasies because being seen with a Western man is considered a status symbol. It’s a win-win situation!

He Watches Asian Porn

Don’t get me started on the amount of times my husband has left ‘hardcore Asian porn’ in the Google search toolbar. I say if he is fantasizing about it, or he has suggested that you introduce an Asian lady into your sex life, he has the fever.

He Suffers from Masculinity Issues

The stereotype of the Asian girl is like the ideal woman - she’s soft and submissive and she cooks and she cleans and all that shit. She feeds into a man’s desire to keep a woman in her place.

The appeal of an Asian woman for western males lies largely in the fantasy-indulging experience that engenders a feeling of dominance and masculinity which may be lacking in their own culture and lifestyle. Because Asian women historically come from a background where their job is to traditionally serve men, the stereotype of the docile and submissive Asian woman feeds into this fucked up fantasy.

He Dated Other Asians

Lastly – take a look at the list of his previous girlfriends: if more than 2 of them are Asian, then he has the fever. But don’t worry – I’m sure he loves you for your personality, not because of your resemblance to Lucy Liu.
